Sunny and breezy weather in Philadelphia region Saturday; more sun and warmth on Mother's Day
Looking back over the past few days, it's easy to say the rainy weather was worth it. Now with that storm out of the way, the Philadelphia region can enjoy a sunny and warm weekend.
Highs on Saturday will range from the upper 60s to the mid 70s. It will be breezy though as gusty northwest winds flow across the region following the storm that plagued us for days. Our CBS Philadelphia team is loving the excellent weather this morning for the Lung Force Walk at the Philadelphia Zoo.
Tonight will be mostly clear and pleasant with lows dropping from the 60s at midnight to the mid-50s in the morning.
Mother's Day will be simply magnificent! We will be treated to a rare dry and sunny holiday. Funny how each year Mother's Day seems to be damp and dreary while Father's Day is sunny and warm. Well, this year, mom will enjoy the perfect weather too.
Sunday begins with sun and temperatures in the mid-50s at 7 a.m., so grab a sweater if you're taking mom for an early brunch, church or any outdoor activity. By the afternoon highs will range from 75-82 under sunny skies with light south winds.
Enjoy this treat from Mother Nature because Mother's Day has only been dry 9 of the past 25 years. That's right, two-thirds of the time it has rained.
Monday will be even warmer in the low 80s with sun early and clouds filtering in throughout the day ahead of a large storm system tracking north from the Gulf coast.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be much cooler in the mid and upper 60s with a chance of rain both days.
Thursday and Friday we warm to the upper 70s and low 80s but that comes with a chance of rain and T-storms as another storm system arrives from the west.
Here's your 7-day forecast:
Saturday: Sunny, breezy. High of 74, low of 49
